- They are provided in order to make profits. As for institutional sectors, market services comprise entities from the sector 11 (non-financial enterprises) and sector 14 (households – unincorporated natural persons). To put it simple, budgetary and allowance organizations are classified to non-market services. CZ-NACE Divisions 75 and 91 are mentioned only to make the listing of activities complete, number of units classified to the sector 11 or 14 is very small and thus data for these two CZ-NACE Divisions are not published separately.
Data in the publication result from the processing of the quarterly questionnaire P 3-04. For the selection of businesses included in the survey we used administrative sources that are included in the Business Register. Medium-size businesses (usually with 20 – 99 employees) fill the questionnaire P 3(b)-04 and large businesses (usually with 100 and more employees) the questionnaire P 3(c)-04. Individual “mutations“ of the questionnaire P 3-04 differ as for the number of indicators required; basic indicators have the same methodological determination and are measured by both the questionnaires. In total, the quarterly questionnaire in the services branch was sent to approximately 3.2 thousand units; response rate (percentage of filled-in questionnaires that came back) was 79,5 %. Data for the set of units that do not receive the quarterly questionnaire (small businesses, usually with less than 20 employees or without employees) are estimated using information from monthly surveys SP 1–12 and then specified according to the last results of annual surveys available.
In terms of methodology, data for individual periods of 2006 are comparable with those for 2005. In consequence of retroactive corrections made for preceding periods (erroneously reported data, inclusion of delayed questionnaires), and also due to estimates for the non-surveyed part of units taking into account the results of the latest available annual surveys, the data for preceding periods differ from the previously published data.
The publication contains basic indicators by individual Divisions (2-digit codes) of CZ-NACE, an overview of financial indicators for large businesses (with 100 and more employees) in total, from that for foreign controlled enterprises (sub-sector 11003). The graphical part contains graph of development of average wages, structure of sales and employment by size of enterprises and individual Divisions of CZ-NACE.
Financial indicators (where not mentioned otherwise) are in current prices.
